A fast, powerful computer built into a high-quality keyboard, for the ultimate compact PC experience. Raspberry Pi 500 features the same quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5. With a one-piece aluminium heatsink built in for improved thermal performance, your Raspberry Pi 500 will run fast and smoothly even under heavy load, while delivering glorious dual 4K display output. It is ideal for surfing the web, creating and editing documents, watching videos, and learning to program using the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment. If you're upgrading from a Pi 400 you can expect to see big performance improvements! With 8GB RAM as standard it's well equipped to handle memory intensive tasks like tabbed web browsing and the improved CPU and GPU should keep everything zipping along quickly whilst feeling nice and responsive. What else do I need? The Raspberry Pi 500 keyboard unit comes with a 32GB microSD card pre-loaded with Raspberry Pi OS, so it's super quick to get going. It doesn't include a power supply, so you'll probably want to add one of those to your cart. For those looking for the complete Raspberry Pi 500 setup, the Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop Kit comes with a mouse, a USB-C power supply and an HDMI cable, along with the Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide, to help you get the most out of your new computer. If you're planning on using HATs or mini HATs with your Pi 500 you'll probably want to pick up either a Flat HAT Hacker or a GPIO extension cable, take a look at the extras for more options.
